UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIGE.

GUSTAVUS B. SANBORN, OF BRISTOL, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

IM PROVEM ENT IN BOTTLES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,526, dated January 21, 1879 5 application ilcd February 8, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsTAvUs B. SANBORN, of Bristol, in the county of Grafton and State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain neur and useful Improvement in Bottles, of which the following is a description suiiciently full, clear, and Iexact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specicatiomwhich is an isometrical perspective view, showing the stopple removed.

My invention relates to means for holding the stopple of the bottle when not in use; and consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a simpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.

The nature and operation of my invention will be readily obvious to all conversant with Y such matters from the following description:

In the drawing, A represents the body of the bottle, which is provided with the ordinary neck and opening a. The lip at the mouth of the bottle is enlarged laterally at one side, forming an extension, B, provided with a hole,

G, equal in size to the opening in the mouth of the bottle, for the purpose of holding the stopple D when not in the mouth of the bottle.

It will be obvious that my improvement is equally well adapted to certain kinds of in l;- stands, also to jars, vials, jugs, Snc., and is dcsigned not only to prevent the loss of the stopple, but to prevent it from falling into the dirt, and to keep it in the most convenient position for use.

I am aware that a bottle having a receptacle formed in its body for holding the cork when not in use, or for the reception ot an extra y cork, is old, and such I do not claim as my invention; but y Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is- A bottle constructed with an extension, B, of the lip or ledge at its mouth, the said extension leaving a hole, C, through it, formed to receive and hold the bottle-stopper when taken from the bottle, substantially as herein specified.

GUSTAVUS B. SANBORN.
